ALUCOBOND^® Surface Treatment

Overlacquering of ALUCOBOND^® surfaces using suitable lacquer qualities

• The maximum permissible temperature of the material (ALUCOBOND^® panels) must not exceed 70°C when applying fast-drying methods. During the drying process at high temperatures the ALUCOBOND^® panels must be positioned or stored with great care to prevent deforming.
• ALUCOBOND^® cut edges should not be in contact with organic solvents for a prolonged period of time to avoid weakening the bond.
• ALUCOBOND^® panels lacquered or overlacquered at a later stage should not be bent or folded. The lacquer in the bends or folds may be damaged due to the low elasticity of the top coat.
• Only inferior lacquer adhesion can be achieved on core material exposed at cut edges.
• Please make a test prior to overlacquering and follow the instructions of the lacquer suppliers.
  
  

The composition of lacquer coating for ALUCOBOND^® is basically the same as those for mill-finished aluminium surfaces. It is advisable to be familiar with coating systems and materials as well as working methods for aluminium.
